Fighting game fans looking to get some high-quality equipment for their next Street Fighter 6 tournament won't want to miss out on this Prime Day deal, as the Victrix Pro FS fight stick is on sale. Since its release, this arcade-style fight stick has been hailed as one of the best, and you can pick up either the regular model or the all-button version for $320. These are normally priced at $400 each, so this is a substantial 20% discount.
For the regular model, you're getting a tournament-grade fight stick that's compatible with PC, PS5, and PS4. You can choose from a crisp PS5-style white or a bright purple finish, and it has Sanwa Denshi 30mm buttons, a removable Sanwa Densi Ball-top joystick, and a very comfortable shape backed up by a foam lap pad. You can also easily open it when you want to do some customization or clean the components, and it has carrying handles for when you want to lug it to events. These are made from a single piece of aircraft-grade aluminum, so they can withstand a lot of punishment.
The other model on sale doesn't have a joystick and instead offers four directional buttons. While this might sound odd, a lot of fighting-game professionals have opted for fight sticks like this to gain an edge in competition. In Street Fighter, for example, you'll find quite a few fighting game professionals favoring this layout when they play as characters who have to "charge" their special moves with directional inputs. The button approach speeds up the time to pull off these powerful moves in comparison to using a traditional joystick.
For some more regular options, there are some attractive deals on first- and third-party controllers right now. Prime Day specials include the 8BitDo Ultimate for just $48--a really solid controller that features a high degree of customization and Hall Effect joysticks. The Victrix Pro BFG--a controller with modular swap-in components--has been discounted to $150, and Xbox Wireless Controllers are on sale for as low as $44 at Amazon and Walmart.
